Crowded House - Magic Piano Lyrics

I began to sense my own weight
Walking up the gravity stairs
Bells ringing in the temple above
The piano was playing itself
Words matter but they get in the way
When you got some stories to tell
Let the melody reign, oh, yeah

Here am I, so bright
Here am I, so light

(Breathe)
Breathe in the magic piano air
Leave with a contact high
I was playing for them
Love is a gift I was given once
Now I must keep it alive
I was thinking of her

These are the dark forces now
Making shadows dance on the stairway
Who's that joker with the crooked smile?
In the car that speeds away
From the scene of the crime

Here am I, so bright
Here am I, so light

(Breathe)
Breathe in the magic piano air
Leave with a contact high
I was playing for that
Love is a gift I was given once
Now I must pay them in kind
I was dreaming of her
If I end up forgetting what I had to say
You will still hear me humming on the last day
Aay, aay, aay

Always rising to the surface now
On a zephyr, the echo ever so faint
Let the melody reign again

I was thinking of him
Contact high
I was dreaming of him
I believe in the magic piano, yeah
Contact high
I was thinking of him
Contact high
I was dreaming of him
I believe in the magic piano, yeah
I was dreaming of him
Now I must keep it alive
I was thinking of him
Love, lets take a chance
You told me the last days are coming
